The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Forgiveness was granted (even) to a prostitute! (Because) She came upon a dog at the mouth of well, who was panting and was about to die of thirst. She took off her leather sock, tied it with her headscarf, and drew some water from the well for the dog. It was for this act of kindness that she was forgiven her sins. When asked, “Are we rewarded even for good we do to animals?” he replied, “Reward is given for good to any living creature.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
